Hmmm…. I’m a guy whose headphones are perennially on their head during the gig… So frankly speaking, earbuds won’t work for me.
And then it really comes down to the user experience, which is y I come to this forum….. Just bcuz laidback luke uses some headphones, I’ll not blindly buy them, right?
I’ve been using Pioneer HDJ-500’s and they are pretty good. Bass is nice and punchy and highs are still pretty crisp. I hear good about TMA-1’s if you take care of them. Both will need some good burn in though.
